Cameroon 1500 francs Mambila IDAC 1 Africa Elephant MS67 PCGS silver coin 2005

The Cameroon 1500 Francs Mambila – IDAC “1 Africa” silver coin, issued in 2005, is a distinctive numismatic piece that combines African cultural heritage with the unifying symbolism of the IDAC program. Struck by Cameroon, this coin reflects the diversity of African traditions while reinforcing the concept of continental identity.

The reverse features a stylized abstract motif inspired by traditional Mambila art. The central element has a wide, symmetrical form with curved edges and a textured surface, creating a strong visual contrast against the mirrored background. The design appears both ceremonial and symbolic, evoking ritual masks and ancestral forms associated with cultural expression and spiritual meaning. The composition is minimalist yet powerful, emphasizing shape, balance, and texture rather than figurative detail.

The obverse displays the iconic “1 Africa” design, with a detailed elephant head positioned over the map of the African continent. Fine engraved outlines define the continent’s borders, while the elephant symbolizes strength, unity, and continuity. Around the central imagery, official inscriptions and denomination details frame the design, reinforcing its status as a formal issue within the IDAC series.

Struck in silver with a prooflike finish and certified PCGS MS67, this coin offers sharp relief, reflective fields, and strong eye appeal. A compelling choice for collectors of African art themes, cultural symbolism, IDAC issues, and certified modern silver coins.
